DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Taking the classroom outdoors, Luminant recently hosted its sixth annual
Environmental Awareness Day at Big Brown Power Plant and Mines, helping
nearly 200 Teague ISD fourth- and fifth-graders gain a greater
understanding of the link between energy and the environment.

Held at the company park near Fairfield Lake, students attended hands-on
seminars, enhancing their wildlife, soil identification and land
reclamation knowledge. Nine workshop stations, led by various
environmental groups and agencies, helped students boost their
understanding of our natural resources, their role in energy production
and the importance of environmental stewardship.

“We look forward to this event each year because it’s a unique learning
opportunity that promotes awareness and education of our natural
environment with students here in our local communities,” said Maggie
Bonds, Big Brown Mine environmental specialist. “These students will one
day be our future leaders, and it’s important that they have a solid
understanding of environmental stewardship.”

For educators, this activity also plays a critical role in helping
reinforce classroom and standardized testing concepts.

“This workshop complements concepts that the students are learning in
the classroom as part of the TEKS curriculum and concepts that they need
to use for the fifth-grade STAAR test,” said Heather Stuver, Teague ISD
fourth-grade science teacher. “Many of the kids learn best through a
hands-on approach to education and this activity gives students direct
access to learn about our natural resources.”

This educational event is just one of many that illustrate the company’s
continued dedication to environmental excellence. To read more about
